Yes, an employee who has been working under an employment contract with non-fixed working hours for more than 12 months may demand that the employer conclude a full-time employment contract.
Conditions and procedure:
1) Application to the employer:
- The employee submits a written request to conclude a fixed-term or indefinite employment contract on a full-time basis.
2) Employer's response: Within 15 calendar days of the request, the employer is obliged to:
- Enter into an appropriate employment agreement with the employee; or
- Provide a written reasoned refusal.
3) Repeated application: In the event of a refusal, the employee has the right to re-apply with such a request, but not earlier than 90 days from the date of receipt of the response to the previous request.
